Why is the G.I. Bill Important?

G.I. Bill Tuition assistance is limited. Check out below if Eastern Michigan's tuition is covered. Be sure to check out the G.I. Bill information for each school you're considering because each school's coverage varies.

Attend Eastern Michigan University as a Veteran and Walk Away With at Least $3,390

Thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill ® (assuming you fully qualify), we expect your yearly benefits to exceed your cost to attend
Eastern Michigan University by at least $3,390.

Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill Benefits

If you live in Michigan and you qualify for full benefits, your tuition and fees will be
covered by your Post-9/11 benefits.
If you live outside of Michigan and it has been less than three years since your discharge
Eastern Michigan University will consider you an in-state student anyways and you will be fully covered.

Remember, some forms of aid such as Pell Grants are awarded in addition to your Post-9/11 GI Bill ® benefits
so be sure to fill out your FASA forms.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant But With Limitations

In the event that you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be
able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award.
While Eastern Michigan University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, it places some limitations
on the awards it grants, so your participation in this program is not guaranteed.

Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in
a Yellow Ribbon program. The calculator can help you sort out your eligibility.
